One of the first signs of spring is the number of spring flowers that begin to bloom, even before all of the snow melts. An old wives tale says, "It is good luck to make a wish when you see your first spring wildflower. You make the wish for someone else, and all the joys of spring will go to you and the person you wished for.

The Province of Ontario has their official flower the Trillium. The Trillium grows wild and is predominant throughout the woodlands and forests north of Toronto. This is a truly remarkable flower, mostly white in colours but with hues of purples and pinks with the odd pure purple colored Trillium.

One of the great debates and questions among botanists, and flower experts;

“ What denotes a wildflower or a weed”?

Can a weed be a spring flower in Ontario? This editor’s answer is “of course”! Often it is municipalities, and government departments that convince us, that a perfectly beautiful flower is defined in official
Legislation or rules and regulations as a weed. Here are a number of links that will help the reader determine their own choice of weeds or spring flowers.
